Posted on November 18, 2024 by @hamed 50 1

English Translation for Hekayat

Knowledge is meant to cultivate faith,
Not to be exploited for worldly gain.

Whoever trades away piety, learning, and abstinence,
Gathers a heap only to see it consumed by flames.

متن حکایت

علم از بهر دین پروردن است نه از بهر دنیا خوردن.

هر که پرهیز و علم و زهد فروخت

خرمنی گرد کرد و پاک بسوخت
